As there is a wee chance it might rain and not be the warmest (and because I'm getting old and grumpy) I was thinking B&B or bunkhouse , but happy to go with the flow. Maybe even cottage depending on numbers?

On my first trip we stayed at this bunkhouse http://www.marthrown.com which is in the middle or Mabie forest (£17.50pppn)

On my second trip we stayed at this rather nice B&B http://www.cowansfarmguesthouse.co.uk as we were only there for a few days and at £20-25pppn not that much more that the bunkhouse and obviously includes a full breaky .

Will have to get back to you about dates but they sounds pretty close to what i'll be able to get off. Would say might as well make it a week though, hell of a drive if only coming back after a few days. Plus maybe get more than one trail a day in? Depends on what the local nightlife is like, if there's loads going on then will probably not be in the best state to be getting up early but if not, 2 20km loops a day wouldnt be too difficult?
